We walk you through From Software’s dark RPG, revealing Lifegems, souls, weapons and armour as you take on the brutal bosses of Dranglaec.

Dark Souls II is a tough game. It’s punishing boss fights, purposefully vague direction and brutal combat make for a thrilling combination, but sometimes we all have to admit we need a little help. There’s no shame in that, so we’re helping out with a guide to the world of Dranglaec.

We’ll update this walkthrough as we go – it’s a huge world to explore – and add more details on locations and techniques for boss fights over the coming weeks, as well as advice on classes and other tips.
